Join us over the weekend or mid week for our high-Summer Peak District yoga retreat is the perfect short stay adventure. Great for nature-loving yogis that want a more modern, luxurious feel.
Our modern home has all the cosy comforts you could ever need. Plush sofas, warming fires and views from every window, of which there are a lot of! An abundance of seating areas both inside and outside means you will have plenty of space. Perfect to curl up with a book or chat with your new retreat friends.
Our days on this Peak District yoga and hiking retreat will be filled but relaxing. With hikes directly from the house, delicious plant-based meals, and yoga to nourish both body and soul.
Yoga
On our summer Peak District retreat, the classes are suitable for all abilities. From beginners to intermediate and advanced levels. Everyone is welcome. Our inspiring and experienced teachers are well-practised at adapting the class to everyone’s level.
There will be two staggered yoga classes for each yoga session scheduled to accommodate the group in order to follow the guidelines of social distancing. The yoga teacher will create a more dynamic class in the morning to get you ready for the day’s hike and the evening class will be slightly longer to enable deep relaxation with yoga Nidra.
